Astronomi India

Astronomi India—sebutan teks terawal yang ada wujud dalam kesusasteraan keagamaan India (alaf ke-2 SM)—menjadi tradisi mantap pada alaf pertama SM, apabila  dan cabang pembelajaran sampingan lain dipanggil Vedanga mula terbentuk. Semasa abad-abad berikutnya beberapa ahli astronomi India mengkaji berbagai-bagai aspek sains astronomi dan diikuti dengan perbincangan sejagat dengan kebudayaan lain.

 Sejarah awal 
Astronomi di India pada awalnya terikat dengan agama.Sarma (2008), Astronomy in India Kitab Veda, kitab penting agama Hindu, ialah tulisan pertama yang menyentuh perihal astronomi. Seperti ulasan Sharma (2008): “Kitab Rigveda ada membuat spekulasi tentang penciptaan alam semesta dari tiada, dan susun letaknya, tentang Bumi yang bulat dan mampu menyokong beratnya sendiri, dan tentang setahun mempunyai 360 hari dibahagikan kepada 12 bahagian dengan 30 hari satu bahagian, dan kewujudan bulan-bulan interkalari (bulan dengan hari tambahan, seperti hari ke-29 bulan Februari dalam kalendar moden).”
